This is an important map of Hispaniola and the Turks & Caicos Islands. When initially published in 1722 by Delisle, it was one of the first to depict the island's true contours following Frezier's important map of the island. The chart provides excellent detail of the three districts showing mountains, roads, towns, ports, plantations, sugar works and navigational hazards. Decorated with a large title cartouche, and compass rose. Engraved by Marin.

A nice impression with contemporary outline color on a sturdy sheet with the watermark of a Maltese cross encircled in rosary beads. There is light toning along the centerfold and edges of the sheet.
